To calculate the electricity bill for a 1.5-ton AC, you'll need to consider the power consumption, which depends on the energy efficiency and how long the AC runs.
Here’s how to calculate it:
- Power Consumption (in kW):
- A 1.5-ton AC typically uses around
1.5 kW to 2 kW of power.
- Let’s assume the AC consumes
1.5 kW per hour for this calculation.
- Duration of Usage:
- Let’s say the AC runs for about
6 hours per day.
- Energy Consumption:
- Energy consumption per day = Power (in kW) × Hours used
- Energy consumed in one day = 1.5 kW × 6 hours =
9 kWh/day.
- Monthly Energy Consumption:
- Energy consumed in one month = 9 kWh/day × 30 days =
270 kWh/month.
- Cost of Electricity:
- The cost per unit of electricity varies by location and provider, but it’s typically around
₹7 to ₹10 per kWh in India.
- Total Monthly Cost:
- Let’s assume the cost of electricity is
₹8 per kWh.
- Monthly cost = 270 kWh × ₹8 =
₹2160.
So, your electricity bill for running a 1.5-ton AC for about 6 hours a day could be around
₹2160 per month, depending on the local electricity rate.
If you use it more or less than 6 hours daily, adjust the calculation accordingly!
